Warren Howard –
The fish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to the 80-gallon tank. It doesn’t damage corals and is active during the day. Good for intermediate reef keepers.
Anthony Langdon –
It’s a bit more active than expected and occasionally nips at smaller invertebrates. Still, it’s a good addition to a reef setup with proper tank size.
Anne Wright –
Easy to care for once the tank is stable. The fish swims well and shows interest in algae. No aggression observed in a 75-gallon tank with other fish.
